AT&TTRIMLINE 210 Corded Home Phone, No AC Power Required, Improved Easy-Wall-Mount, Lighted Big Button Keypad, 13 SpeedDial Keys, Last Number Redial, Mute, Flash, Volume Control, Beige

You really can't find a better "Land Line" phone than this one. Fully functional features sure to please you. Included are: Ringtone Volume that can be turned off. Adjustable sound level from the handset for those who want to hear the person they're talking to a bit louder. Great for a Desk Phone like I am using. Bottom of phone includes wall mounting insets. The unit comes packed with handset and base, length of cord to plug into a wall outlet and full instructions. Is it worth the money? YES! No comparison to other phones within the price range. You'll be happy with this phone, believe me.

Perfect extra phone for landline. This phone is surprisingly heavy (substantial) and has good volume of ring tone (can be changed to louder) and also voice volume. Good purchase.

Super light weight, "they don't make them like they used too."Always good to have in case of an emergency.

I keep a landline for power outages only. I don't plug this in unless the power is out! It's perfectly serviceable for my needs.

Since we have more violent storms now with the power going much more frequently and for longer than ever, we decided to get a land line direct plug phone. Works well, gives some peace of mind in case cell phones without signal. Yes we have a land line and hey, guess our age? Haha. And it’s the pink Longline phone I wanted 50 years ago

Didn't ask for much out of this phone. Just needed a phone that can be attached to a wall phone plate and has a ringer, earpiece, mouthpiece and a "9" button - the entire intention was to be the phone that rings when someone comes to the building door, enters our unit number, it calls this phone, it rings, I answer it, confirm who is there and press 9 to open the door.Unfortunately, like seemingly everything these days, somewhere along the line, this classic, once-reliable phone received the typical corporate corner cutting in the quality department. It seemed fine at first, but after only a couple uses (literally!), the button under the earpiece that is supposed to hang up the line broke... So the phone was permanently "off hook." As I had already discarded the box, I did not ask Amazon for a refund (It was under $10 anyhow, so I figured I would chalk it up to learning and never buy anything with "AT&T" imprinted on it, providing services for, etc. - not a difficult move to make as my cumulative experiences with AT&T since the late 1980s have been entirely negative).So, I tossed this piece of junk in the bin and did some research on a better phone - I knew that new businesses such as hotels and airports, etc. still get those solid, well made industrial quality phones that the phone company used to issue when someone subscribed to a telephone line back in the old days before the AT&T breakup in 1984, but where were they getting them I wondered? Well, it turns out, if you only need one, you can get not one, but one of a few different models from Amazon. I selected the Cetis Scitec 2554E Red one because it was red and as it was going in the kitchen, where there are a lot of red appliances (I like Red, what can I say?), it seemed to match my needs. I figured that if I did not like the quality, I would return it and get another model from one of the other manufacturers. All I wanted was a phone built like a tank like they were in the old days... To be honest, The Scitec phone is not so much a tank as it is a Jeep. I say that as the hook is a piece of acrylic or some other rather durable plastic, not the heavy metal hook of yesteryear. It is also lighter and thus less durable than those old phone that the Bell Company hung in my Mom's kitchen in the 1970s. Those old phones back then were occasionally featured in film and TV for the useful purpose of bludgeoning to death someone who oh so rightly deserverd it before Columbo arrived in the morning with his "oh, just one more thing" and...That having bean said, if the current incarnation of the 210 phone were used to whack someone in the head, all that person would get is a very cross face as the attacker stands there with a sheepish grin and a a bunch of cheap broken plastic in their hand!Speaking of broken plastic... When I tossed the thing in the bin, the handset split in half and bits came flying out. I did not throw it in there with any force... I simply tossed it... what a piece of crap!

The ringer on this phone could not be adjusted to not be so extremely loud it could wake the dead. Maybe it's designed for older people who might be hard of hearing, but if your not your surely to be startled.Keep this in mind when purchasing. It is easy to hold though so that's a plus. Looks good for a corded phone, I guess as good as they get.Good reception. Pretty clear. So aside from the blasting ring that is startling and annoying it's a pretty good phone with big numbers.
